Few new finishes or drywall have been installed in the new Governor's Bedroom. The former window opening has not been closed in, nor has the window opening now opening into the Family Kitchen been framed in.

Framing for the First Lady's Dressing Room has not been drywalled, though utilities have been roughed in.

Location:

Mansion - Second Floor - Lafayette Room (E/R)

Work Type:

Miscellaneous

Notes:

Drywall has been laminated to the ceiling of the Lafayette Bedroom. Very old flooring uncovered in the closet on the south side of the fireplace evidences that the closet was probably once a doorway into the bedroom from an early Stairhall. This theory is supported by evidence of an early stair (west wall of the North Foyer) whose landing was further north than the present landing of the North Stair. The brick wall adjacent to the bedroom door is channeled in order to recess utility lines.

The new partitions in the Family Room have not been drywalled. Neither the ceiling nor the historic brick walls have been drywalled. The window opening has not yet been enlarged. The room is being used to store floor framing for the new addition.
